Cybersecurity compliance startup Vanta has launched Vanta AI Agent, a new agent designed to handle end-to-end workflows autonomously across a company’s entire compliance program. The new agent contextually guides organizations through key tasks, accurately identifies issues and inconsistencies humans might miss and proactively takes action on their behalf, while keeping governance, risk and compliance teams informed and in control. The agent uses program context to offer timely support and surface issues before they become costly errors. It reduces human error by taking on manual, time-consuming tasks and, in doing so, frees teams to focus on higher-value work that builds trust while strengthening their security and compliance posture. In addition to its core functions, Vanta AI Agent also generates clear and actionable policy change summaries, streamlining the process of updating compliance documentation during annual reviews. The result reduces the need for manual input, allowing teams to focus on strategic decision-making. Other features of the agent include the ability to proactively detect inconsistencies between policy-defined service level agreements and the outcomes of continuous testing. When mismatches occur, the agent flags them and suggests fixes, helping teams address issues before they escalate into audit risks. Vanta AI Agent further simplifies information retrieval by answering policy and compliance-related questions in real time. Teams can quickly access critical details such as password requirements, vendor risk management information and compliance with standards like Service Organization Control 2 and the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act.
